The Gospel Lesson                                                 John 17: 1-5

 

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:  “Father, the time has come, Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.  For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.

 

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.  I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.  And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

 

This is the gospel of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

We are sent in the name of the Lord.

May Jesus Christ, who was put to death for our sins, bless you and keep you.

May Jesus Christ, who was raised to life for our salvation, let light shine upon you.

Amen.

May Jesus Christ be your life and peace, now and forever.

Amen. Thanks be to God.
